A 24-year-old resident of Tomsk became a victim of raiders who came for his cryptocurrency savings. According to the Telegram channel 112, the victim lost bitcoins totaling almost 370 million rubles.
The crime was committed in mid-October, when the cryptocurrency holder, when leaving his own apartment, came across an unknown person in a medical mask and with a gun. He demanded that he return to the apartment, where he forced him to transfer 85 bitcoins to a third-party wallet, "nobly leaving 5 bits to the victim." In addition, the laptop, phones and cash disappeared.
After that, the victim was put on the bed, tied with duct tape. In this state, he stayed for 8 hours under the supervision of the robber's accomplice. The latter left on a phone call, and the victim managed to free himself, after which he turned to the police.
The detained 36-year-old suspect confessed to what he had done and returned part of the stolen cryptocurrency worth 36 million rubles. Now the investigation is finding out the fate of the remaining bitcoins and other circumstances of the incident. Where the victim got such a sum in cryptocurrency is not specified. It is known that he is not officially employed.
